ANTIMICROBIAL EFFECTS OF PHENOXY ETHANOL AND CAPROLYL GLYCOL (VERSTATIL PC) AS PRESERVATIVES IN COSMETIC PRODUCTS

Background and Aim:The probability of transmission of contamination and its risks in the cosmetics industry is considered as one of the important health problems for the consumers of these products and, on the other hand, due to the widespread use and non-standardization of some of the raw materials And the presence of some of the compounds in these products as a food source for microorganisms can provide the context and conditions f or the infection to consumers.Methods:: In this study, the bacterial and fungal contamination of cosmetic products produced by Pars Azma Medical was evaluated by evaluating the power of maintenance of Verstatil pc. In this study, the minimum inhibitory concentration of verstatil pc was investigated against five microorganisms of Candida albicans (PTCC), Escherichia coli (ATCC: 25922), Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC: 27853), Aspergillus niger (PTCC), Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC: 25923) It turned out.Results: The results of microbial tests showed that the verstatil pc bacteriuria and fungal power for the above microorganisms was Log level ≥ Log 7.Conclusion: Due to the repeated use of cosmetics, measures should be taken to prevent the growth of bacteria and pathogenic fungi in these products. According to the results of this study, it is recommended that the substance The preservative (V.PC) is used to prevent the growth of microbial and fungal contaminating agents in the cosmetics industry.
